If you were interrogating a suspect would you play nice cop or bad cop?

Question

The show Nightwatch, the original that placed in New Orleans. The most amazing policeman was highlighted in that show. I’ll never forget him. His young partner explained to the camera team that he always ended up getting the suspects to admit to and apologize for their crime by the time he was done talking with them.
The senior officer explained every step he expected from them and what he was going to do. This grabbed attention and gained respect. By the end the suspects looked like they were talking to their father. It was really impressive. Worth watching. Everyone deserves that when honestly innocent until proven guilty.
It’s worth watching the series just to watch that section alone, but there were other really good parts to the real-life show too.
That officer should be teaching all young officers. Incredible man.
So, I would want to be like him.

I’m always good, and when I’m not good it’s because I’m excellent!!!

Neither really, just walk in without saying a word, chop a finger off and walk out.

Do this a couple of times.

He will admit he has not paid his parking tickets and a bunch of other stuff, without you even having to ask.

You don’t need to be good or bad, just indifferent.

" look, help me... to help you... I am your last chance, then you will be released... and the cartels, well... I'm sure you know how that's going to go"

I would be the Mexican cop, kind of a grey area

Apulu_3 · Answer

I will just roast the person till the point till he reveals the truth. More likely a Savage and badass cop. I won't play nice of course as I won't go easy on them. Even if so then I will play the role or creepily cute which I hope what you mean haha. Like I will salt the suspect's wound and smile really sweetly and innocently while talking in a childish tone which will make me a cute psycho which is my attitude lol.

I would be the "good cop". I am very good at playing mind games and fucking people up mentally when I want to get information. I would let another cop be the blatantly bad cop and pretend to be the one who has the suspect's best interests at heart while making the suspect's own mind be their worst enemy. When I was a CO this was how I would break down the most vile inmates in our jail who truly had no desire to change their ways.

FreyaRed · Answer

Depends on attitude of the culprit. Affirmation, empathy, intimidation... everything can be used as tool to get information.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

Eh, it depends on the person sometimes good sometimes bad

I'll answer this one by sharing a scene from one of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's most hilarious episodes...

Does the good cop get to taze the suspect a few times as a warmup before asking questions?

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I would not interrogate them, I would serve them cabbage soup laced with drugs to get them unconscious and than I would inject them with alcohol to get them drunk. A drunk man is an honest man.

SaoirseS · Answer

Good cop. I wouldn’t be able to pull off bad cop very well. I don’t strike terror in the hearts of anyone.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

The good and empathetic cop comes more naturally to me. I don't think I'd be able to play bad cop so well unless I got really angry first or drunk.

Mangospacho · Answer

Good cop. You catch more flies with honey. Plus, when you just shout at the perp and rattle off questions, they shut down and don’t answer anything. I do this to my kids all the time and have a 95% conviction rate.

DonkeyDan · Answer

Good cop, you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.

SmokyOne · Answer

Lol I'd be indifferent cop. Cooked up cop would definitely be bad cop. Once you start doing coke it's all you can think about, he'd probably rob the suspect lmao

AndrésC64 · Answer

I play good/neutral to begin with. I believe in the old maxim, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar." If that didn't work, then I'd apply a more stick oriented approach.

Neutral. I'm generally a nice person, but it'd be different if I were interrogating someone.
